Don't squander the gold of your days making a shrine of cricket videos, trying to improve the hopeless failure, giving your life away to the Blockys, the Devciches and the Weerasundaras! Surrender your devout little cricketing heart to the inured agribusinessman.

Quinn looks so average. Surely they have better guys in the provincial stuff than a 20yo 125kph medium pacer. And that Grobelaar (?) fella. Auckland to not make the HRV cup final this year is my guess.

He'd be around the mid 130s at the moment but when fit is capable of getting into the 140 or so area Trent Boult inhabits. Watched him destroy Wellington a couple of seasons ago and he had internationals hopping around.

As for Quinn and Grobby, the former is probably being picked ahead of Bartlett because he has a slower ball...there's no better option in the As. And similar story with Grob. Been dominant in club cricket opening the bowling and scoring proper runs at 6, whereas he's now being asked to bowl through the middle and hit at the death - which isn't his strength.
